"Li Xiangping?!"

When Li Xiangping made a call, a slightly unexpected and surprising voice soon came from the receiver:

"Why did you think of calling me today?"

"Hello Yanqing, it's like this..."

That’s right, the person on the phone with Li Xiangping now is Yan Qing, his former “nemesis.” As I said before, there are two types of smart people in the Go world, one type is a giant baby type of smart people, and the other type is a scholar-type smart person.

, Yan Qing obviously belongs to the latter.

Yan Qing is now in Europe and is a member of a group of professional chess players living in Europe. Of course, Li Xiangping came to him to ask about the birth of a generation of Afa dogs.

"...Ha! You are asking about Lao Fan. Of course we are familiar with each other. I met him last week... Yes, yes. Hey, Xiangping, you are quite well informed. There is a team that found Lao Fan.

Fan, it seems, is from the American Google. He said he wants to develop some kind of Go AI... Ha, you ask why you didn't come to me? My reputation in Europe cannot be compared with that of old Fan. He is the European champion. Besides,

Xiangping, what kind of Go AI are you talking about developing? Is this reliable..."

After hanging up the phone from Yan Qing, Li Xiangping was secretly amused, because nowadays, most people have the same thoughts as Yan Qing.

Even Fan Erduan himself still has the same old view that Go is too complex and unlikely to be conquered by computers in the short term.

As a time traveler, Li Xiangping certainly knows that this time is different, this time is really different!

It's just that he couldn't tell Yan Qingming on the phone about this "difference", so in the end he could only ask Yan Qing to pay attention to him, and ask him to keep him informed of any new developments in Europe.

Then time quickly came to the end of 2015. One day in November, Li Xiangping received a call from Europe:

"Xiangping, you are indeed right..."

Yan Qing said on the phone: "This time it seems to be a little different. Xiangping, do you know? Lao Fan played a few test games with the newly created software. Do you know what the result was? Lao Fan was actually killed by the software.

A 0 to 5..."

"Oh, Yan Qing, can you do me a favor?"

"Xiangping, tell me."

"Can you send me those 5 chess records?"

"Hey, what do you think is going on? I'll contact Lao Fan right now. By the way, Xiangping, you can actually contact him yourself. After Lao Fan's 0 to 5, I heard that Google might make big moves, no.

I don’t know if I dare to come to you, but at least I will find a first-class expert who is still on the front line to try their new software."

"Haha, let's talk about the future later. Let me see how this software beats Lao Fan first."

"Okay, I'll go and pass the chess record to you."

Because of Yan Qing's relationship, Li Xiangping saw the first human sacrifice after the birth of a generation of dogs earlier than the public.

After studying the five chess records, Li Xiangping asked himself:

"Brother Ding'an, how do you feel?"

"Well, if the dog stays at this level, there is no need to be afraid of it at all. Let alone you and I working together, even if I go alone, I should have more than 60% chance of winning, right?"

Li Xiangping laughed when he heard this. Of course he was not laughing at the ignorance and arrogance of the plug-in. In fact, after reading the five chess records, his personal views were exactly the same as Lao Shi's.

And in real history, when the professional Go community at that time saw the 5 chess records in which Fan Erdan lost to a generation of dogs, most people had the same opinion as Li Xiangping now:

If the Go AI is at this level, then they are definitely not the first-class opponents of the top human professions.

It is precisely for this reason that before Lee Sedol went to dog fighting, everyone's predictions about the outcome were very interesting.

Most people in the scientific and technological field, as well as chess-illiterates who don't understand Go at all, prefer machines to win.

Only professional Go players and senior Go enthusiasts believe that Lee Sedol can win.

For example, Li Xiangping at that time was also considered a senior chess fan and had considerable strength. He saw too many loopholes and flaws in the dog in the five chess records in which the first generation dog defeated Fan Erdan, so he chose Li Shishi.

Before losing the first game, he had always believed that humans would win.

It's a pity that on that occasion, Li Xiangping and people who knew Go were wrong and completely underestimated the speed of dog evolution.

In just over 3 months, dogs with "deep learning" abilities quickly made up for their various flaws and directly reached the ability to crush top human professions. Then when the second-generation dogs evolve into third-generation dogs, when the dogs are completely

Abandoning the study of human chess records, the two are no longer in the same dimension. Go AI has already put humans aside by another dimension.

"Brother Ding'an, you have heard it before. The first generation dog is now choosing its opponent, and is preparing for a man-machine war after the year. Do you want me to use other channels to contact you, and we will have a battle with the first generation dog after the new year.

?”

"Hey, that's strange. With your current status, why didn't they come to you immediately?"

"It should be that these five chess records have affected their team's judgment."

Li Xiangping explained to Lao Shi with a smile:

"I guess Yan Qing, Fan Erduan and others told the R&D team of Yiyi Dog that with the current performance of Yiyi Dog, it is still possible to beat the top players in other professions, but it is absolutely impossible to beat me. Well, after all, it is considered a professional

professionals, so they followed the advice of professionals and were not planning to contact me for the first time, but were planning to contact Lee Sedol of Goryeo."

"Why him?"

"Because besides me, in the past five years, he has won the most world championships. Well, brother Ding'an, don't worry about who they are looking for. I'm just asking you if you want to fight a generation of dogs. If you want to,

If so, I have other channels to replace Xiao Li."

"Haha, if a generation of dogs only have this little ability now, I wouldn't be very interested in competing with them."

"hehe."

After listening to Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping thought for a while and then said:

"Okay, since Brother Ding'an said so, I won't fight with Xiao Li the first time. But Brother Ding'an, I want to remind you that after a generation of dogs compete with Xiao Li, they will immediately upgrade. It seems that they will not

In 2 months, it will evolve into a second-generation dog. The second-generation dog is the key, and we cannot avoid this. They may conduct tests online at that time. During the test, we must find a way to defeat the second-generation dog once.

Only in this way can it be possible to arrange a formal contest with a third-generation dog."

What Li Xiangping said can be regarded as the truth from his past life.

In fact, in real history, even though a generation of dogs had defeated Lee Sedol in the first season of the human-machine battle, the dog's performance had not convinced everyone.

For example, Ke Shaoxia made the bold statement at that time that "dogs can defeat Li Shishi, but they cannot defeat him." Only when the second-generation dog "master" is born, will the second-generation dog cause trouble on the Internet and directly affect human occupations.

A wave of 60 consecutive wins came.

In fact, only then will the entire professional Go world be convinced of the Go AI.
